"bttv0: Hauppauge eeprom: invalid" means that when the kernel check the first item in its list it was invalid. Your capture card is up and running. Now you just to get a video capture program working. Try tvtime or Xawtv. If you have mplayer, use that.

hmm. i thought it worked but i cannot get any picture from it. i wanted to stream with /usr/bin/webcam and my config file was like that:
Code:
[grab]
device = /dev/video0
text = webcam %d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S
#infofile = filename
fg_red = 255
fg_green = 255
fg_blue = 255
width = 320
height = 240
delay = 3
wait = 0
input = composite1
#norm = PAL
rotate = 0
top = 0
left = 0
bottom = -1
right = -1
quality = 75
trigger = 0
#once = 0

[ftp]
host = localhost
user = webcam
pass = xxxxxx
dir  = /home/ivo/public_html/images
file = webcam.jpeg
tmp  = uploading.jpeg
passive = 1
debug = 0
auto = 0
local = 1
ssh = 0
but it isnt working. gives me that blue picture(reminds windows:P) i guess, i have to change input from composite1 to composite2 or whatever. after changeing, it blames me me that input is wrong
